Here's a big fat list of nigerian states and their lgas in json for your projects
I'll just cut to the chase here
If you're building a nigerian website that requires you to have "State of origin" and "LGA" select fields, chances are you might have to scrape option values for those fields. I had to do this when i built my last project so i'm making the scraped data public so you can use it in your own application
I've hosted the json file in a repo and wrote steps on how to use it in the repo's readme file. Clone the repo here
Enjoy
PS: If you think this is useful, kindly share to someone else who might be bent down scraping this data themselves
Now if you're curious on how i scraped it here's what i did:
- Scraped state names from this blog using SimpleScraper and created objects for each state in an array
- Scraped LGA data from each state's page and looped it into the state array
- There's no step 3
Till next time
